Hi one last question regarding lenses. Ive been using my sigma 70-200os lens for the few portraits I've done. Would the canon 85 1.8 be a good investment for portrait work considering the 70-200 I've been using is pretty good? I'm curious on bokeh and such and the l is out of my price range

It is one of the great value for money lenses of Canon. Also the quickest AF of the 85's

So it wouldn't be redundent even though I have a 70-200? My copy of the sigma is sharper and on par bokeh wise than my old 70-00 f4 canon to give you idea of my current lens

To me it is not redundant with a 1.8 vs. 2.8. It gives you other possibilities. Also working with a prime forces you to move more to compose, which imho is a good thing. A friend of mine has the 1.8 (I have as you see the Sigma 1.4) and it feels great. It is very quick. It suffers from CA, but then again so does the Sigma, and the mighty 85L II, albeit not so much as the 1.8. This is easily fixed in Lightroom or other programs. I believe that money vs. value this is imo on of the two great offerings from Canon (the other is the 50 1.4).

^thanks for the info. I think the 85mm 1.8 canon will be next lens followed by the sigma 35mm art. i am starting to grow a lot to some primes and am definitely having a better time using them than my zooms
